Passenger on Ibiza flight blasts 'plane full of English animals' for 'real hell'
A woman has laid into English tourists after she was stuck on a flight to Ibiza with unruly passengers.
The Ibiza resident shared footage of the boisterous Brits online, insisting that they shouldn't have been allowed on the easyJet plane in the first place.
In a no-holds-barred message alongside a video of the packed plane where passengers could be seen banging on luggage compartments above them and yelling 'Come on Ibiza', the Spanish speaker said: "My flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible. I was scared.... a plane full of real English animals!" reports The Mirror.
She added that people were "standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job. Real hell. This video is just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey".
"It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight. This shouldn't be allowed," Erika added, saying that those who had drunk too much alcohol should not be allowed on flights.
"We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home. I had a very bad time and the flight attendants (were) unable to do anything," she added.
The woman added in comments to a local Ibizan newspaper that she had complained to the flight attendants.
"I'm not afraid of flying because I've flown around the world but I had a panic attack because it was like being in a pub, in a nightclub, but in the air," she continued.
She claimed the two male air stewards and an air stewardess on board had asked some passengers for their documentation, but were met with shouts of 'f** off'.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on 16 May was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority. Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard."
The footage was posted on Saturday, a day before thousands of people marched in the Canary Islands' cities as part of a new anti-mass tourism protest. Locals in the Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, are due to stage their protest on June 15.
Over the weekend, fed-up locals made their frustrations clear in the Canary Islands as peak tourism season nears, with an estimated 7,000 people marching through the streets and promenades in Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, alone.
The massive protests have been echoed on each of the territory's six other islands, including Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, with organisers saying the sun-kissed Spanish islands, which are extremely popular, especially with Irish tourists, "have a limit".
There have been long-running tensions in holiday destinations across Spain due to the pressure large numbers of tourists put on local resources and property prices.

They shared that a ticket back to the UK costs them just £24, which they said is less than the cost of a taxi in to town back home. Read more real live stories The couple have parked their caravan at the Villamar camping site, and have already made pals with the "friendly staff and residents." Describing the campsite, they said it has "lovely cheap food, no big bills, no stress, [and] no problems." They added that is also boasts "cheap beer", "three beautiful pools, and an onsite supermarket and hairdressers." Currently, the couple are only allowed to stay at the caravan for 90 days in a 180 day period, as this is how long Brits can stay in Europe without a visa. Most read in Fabulous However, they hope to soon obtain residency, so they can make a permanent move to the caravan site. I bought a 24-year-old caravan off a traveller to stay in with my kids - everyone warned me not to, but it's immaculate When the couple first purchased the caravan, it had been left abandoned for seven years, and featured outdated upholstery and a grubby exterior. However, determined to turn it into their dream home, Gemma and Nicky revamped the caravan into a stylish pad featuring two bedrooms, a stylish kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. They have even installed an air conditioning unit to help them cope with Benidorm's scorching temperatures. Despite the cheap cost of the caravan, the couple also have to pay £5000 a year to place their caravan on the campsite, and to use its facilities. How much does it cost to live in a caravan? LIVING in a caravan can be an economical and flexible lifestyle choice in the UK.

DIY Maintenance: Handle minor repairs yourself. Energy Efficiency: Invest in solar panels to reduce utility costs. While initial setup costs can be significant, ongoing expenses for living in a caravan can be relatively low, making it a viable option for those seeking an affordable and mobile lifestyle in the UK. However, their beaming faces in their TikTok videos suggest that they believe it's worth every penny. Gemma and Nicky have been documenting their Benidorm journey via the Social media users have flooded the video's comments section to share their thoughts on the couple's move abroad. One person said: "Good for you, I'd love to do this." A second person said: "My dream. Congratulations. I love it. I want one." A third person said: "I would love this!
